The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of Unit 1 of the El Dabaa NPP, signifying the official start of construction of the first of four VVER-1200 reactors at the site.
The Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority issued a construction licence for Unit 1 of the plant in June, ahead of schedule, consequently allowing for concrete pouring for the first reactor to start.
